Wish you could have seen the happy faces when we opened your beautiful presents and letters. Thanks very much! I really enjoy reading the great books you sent us. The children have been studying some of the books, too, and after the summer holidays we’ll read about Mohammed, it’s a wonderful book!
Hanna Jessen, Teacher of 5th Grade, Trekronergade Freinetschool, Copenhagen
I am looking forward to the possibilities for co-operation and also would love to prepare an article about you to a Finnish magazine – the media really needs that kind of images from Islam world that you are representing.
Päivi Arvonen, Journalist, Executive Director, www.Kulttuurikameleontit.com , Finland
You impressed us very much! You can make things happen with a lot of different people, not only having ideas, but also actually make them come to life and inspire others in the process.
Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen, Director, Danish Egyptian Dialogue Institute
We’d like to start a dialog between "children’s education in Egypt and Denmark". We are planning a study-excursion to Egypt to see schools, universities and a study of the Arab-Islamic culture for some staff members. I would be very interested to hear more about your projects.

“I am very impressed by the achievement and efforts all of you have put into this. Let us pray that this unfortunate incident is what turned our world around to become a more loving and understanding place so that our children will grow up in a world with no hate nor fear”
Lars Mourey, Danish-Muslim Manager
“Given the recent events in the media, I do think it is important not to just focus on Denmark, but to expand to other countries as well. A universal message of tolerance, understanding, and respect is much needed”
Mark German, Director of Worldwide Content, Major Educational Non-Profit Organization in USA
“I like when things are developing quickly. Not so many words, but action! You are working hard; I admire your will-power! I think you should write a column in a Danish newspaper, and also mention the initiatives you are working on. They are too good NOT to mention!”
Vagn Olsen, Danish TV
“Thanks so much for your hard work in making the best possible use of our film for the people of Denmark. Your support all along the way has helped make this possible.”
Michael Wolfe, Director & Producer, documentary film: Muhammad Legacy of a Prophet
“I have read the article with the Cross Cultural Analysis and found it very interesting, and I have forwarded it to a member of the Danish Parliament. I am looking for journalists who would be interested in printing it. Strangers are just friends you haven’t met”
Michael Andersen, ‘Reconciliation Now’, online Danish dialogue initiative
“Thank you so much for your thoughts. They are very relevant and I have passed them on to different people. We are thinking about taking our initiative further to create a "non-conservative" alliance between both sides. In that project we would be happy to get your input and thoughts. So if you have any ideas to what can be done in order to change the discourse of confrontation, we would be happy to know”
Nikolai Lang, ‘Another Denmark’ online Danish dialogue initiative
“I read your cross-cultural analysis - it's a precious contribution because it's written from a unique angle. You're not saying the same as everyone else is saying. I like the analysis of the Abyssinia episode and the lessons drawn from it. I forwarded it to Drs. Cornelis Hulsman, the director of the Center for Arab-West Understanding. Congratulations for your work!”
